Application Thumbnail view (like Win7) in ML?

I have several users that are accustomed to Windows, and a request came though to inquire about application thumbnail views.
In Windows, lets say you have 3 Excel sheets open. You see the Excel documents open on your task bar, and when you hover over them you can see that you have 3 files open and a thumbnail of each is shown.
Is there anything similar to this in the Mac OS? It is confusing for some users because you cannot tell how many files are open in a particular program; all you can see is that the program is running in the OS (White dot next to App icon in the Dock).

Thanks much! It's suprising... Ive read quite a bit of documentation and havent come across that feature.

  • Finder thumbnail view like Windows XP?

    Windows XP has a nice way of looking at thumbnails that are large of all the pictures in a folder which I'd like to do in Mac OS X without using iPhoto or GraphicConverter, and without having to leave the Finder. Has anyone made a hack that enables that in either 10.4.11 or 10.5?

    Yes, but I'd like to see that on the Finder. It is difficult to instruct someone who is new at Macs how to go through all those extra steps to get the same feature, and it would be good for them to have that feature right on the Finder since they are beginning to get into digital photography.

  • New Pages no longer allows SECTIONS (in thumbnail view window) to be re-arranged like before?

    New Pages no longer allows SECTIONS (in thumbnail view window) to be re-arranged like before? You could drag and drop sections within your document the same way you could drag and drop pages in Preview's PDF documents. So how do you re-arrnage your document now?
    ALSO
    You used to be able to duplicate/copy a section/page by draging it with OPTION-LEFT-CLICK to a space below or above in the thumbnial window. The same way it works in PREVIEW in a PDF document. Did I miss something or is this also a bug?!
    These were extremely helpful to me and I hope many others. Can anyone help!?
    Thanks :-)

    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Is there a thumbnail view in Pages like in Adobe Acrobat?

    I imported a label making template and there is some funky formatting that has created a second page that I can't seem to delete. I am trying to view the document in the "thumbnail view" a la Adobe Acrobat so I can just "see" the page in the sidebar and delete it. Does this functionality exist in Pages '09?

    It is where you'd expect it:
    Menu > View > Page Thumbnails
    also an icon on the tool bar, extreme left, but your problem is a return or invisible character that has spilled over to the next page:
    Menu > View > Show Invisibles
    …and delete it. You can't just delete a page willy nilly, they are connected by content.

  • Thumbnail view/Icon association change in Windows 7 with CS4

    I just put CS4 on a virgin Windows 7 build and I'm struggling with a couple of things...
    1. How do I get Windows 7 to display the proper file association icons for image files? With XP it was easy to change an icon so that my JPG files uses the Photoshop JPG icon. But in 7 I have not been able to figure it out.
    2. Thumbnail view with an image preview is not working. No matter what size I resize the icon in 7 I still get a big fat "PS" icon and not an image thumbnail. If there's a "switch" somewhere that I need to flip, I haven't been able to find it.
    If anyone can shed some light on these issues, particularly #2, that would be great. I'm amazed at how much a hard case Windows 7 is with file associations and Photoshop CS4. I got BMP, JPG, PNG, and others to open with Photoshop but it did require a bit more effort. With the "default program" list, Photoshop isn't even mentioned and I had to hunt the executable down to tell Windows which application to use. What's amazing is Quicktime is listed as a "default program" but CS4 is not.

    OK, sounds like you found the File Type Association.
    As for the display, for some years, the old psicon.dll has been gone from Windows. For a few versions, one could just add it to Windows, but I do not believe that has worked since Vista. Instead, use Bridge, and not Windows Explorer.
    As this has been an issue for years, it could well be that MS, or Adobe, will rewrite the psicon.dll to work with Win7, or that someone else will take up the challenge of doing so. Could already be out there, and I have just not heard of it.
    Good luck,

  • Thumbnail view of a TableView populated by an ObservableList

    Hello,
    I'm populating a TableView dynamically with objects in an ObservableList.  I'd like to mark some rows with varying colors depending on their content and would like to display the marked rows in a thumbnail view of the TableView.  The idea is to basically do something like the awesome Beyond Compare app does in the top left side of their window (see http://www.scootersoftware.com/images/TextCompare.png). A click on the thumbnail would basically scroll your tableview to that location.  The square on the thumbnail represents what data is displayed on the screen and is sized proportionally with how long the TableView is and how many rows can be displayed on the screen at that time.
    Perhaps I can bind a ListView to the same ObservableList that's populating the TableView but just show an image (thin colored line) for each row of the TableView that has been marked.  Any ideas on how I could achieve something like this?
    Thanks

    In JavaFX8 you can get a filtered list from the ObservableList, and use that to populate the ListView (or whatever you decide to display). Just call table.getItems().filtered(...).
    In JavaFX 2.x, you can create an new ObservableList for your filtered data. Create a ListChangeListener and register it with table.getItems() and update your filtered data as necessary when the list changes. The tricky part is to update the filtered list when any relevant properties in the elements in the list change. For this you can create an observable list with an extractor.
    Here's an example. Note the way the observable list is created in the createData() method.

  • Thumbnail view of PS brushes: Improvements in CS4?

  • HT2506 Change the Thumbnail view in Preview (Mac)

    Hi everybody!
    I am wondering if there is the chance to change the thumbnails view  in order to display pdf pages on two or more columns, the same as in acrobat it is increasing or decreasing the size of the thumbnail window or zooming in/out in the same window.
    Thank you for your support!
    Best regards!

    Minimally, are you aware that Artists view has an Artwork Size slider under the View Options menu item?  These preferences stick with the application. 
    I mucked around for a while before I realized that View Options items change for each view.  Still smallish in the Artists right column at maximum, but better than nothing, and I would have expected to expand the graphics view all the way up to a full window in Albums view, which doesn't seem possible. 
    Also, I noted there doesn't seem to be a way to view full size album art other than selecting the art icon of the currently song, up at the top.  Still there under Get Info in the song record but I couldn't figure out how to view anything larger but through the icon at the top.  Not a big deal overall, but I have occasionally opened multiple album art and tiled them to check details side by side. 
    Alsoalso, I thought I could put the album art full screen like an audio slide show and blot out the background, but that seems to have disappeared.  Again, not that important to me, but odd.

  • How to enable Windows Explorer Thumbnail Viewer to display PSD files?

    Hi,
    I am using Adobe Photoshop Extended CS5 (64-Bit) on Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit).
    When using Windows Explorer to browse through file folders, I notice that the Photoshop files (.psd) do not display a thumbnail preview, like other graphic files do. How can I enable the Windows Explorer Thumbnail Viewer to display PSD files?
    Thanks for your help,

    Adobe software doesn't provide a 64 bit codec and as far as I know there is no freeware to do it on x64 systems.
    There are two pay-for applications that I know of:  Mystic Thumbs and Ardfry's PSD codec

  • Why can I no longer copy and paste a page in the thumbnails view?

    We used to be able to copy and paste, even edit the order of the pages in thumbnail view. Why has ALL of this functionality been removed?! Or is there some special way to do it now that isn't as intuitive?

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 has had 90+ features removed and a load of bugs added.

  • How to create view like Facebook - Profile, Wall portion in my iphone apps

    Hi,
    I have to create same that type of view for my application. my requirement like that i have one question and user can give answer of my question with unlimited number of lines. SO obviously we have to use UITableView. Now problem is that how can i decide my table row height and if there is two lines then answer portion should be small and if answer portion is big then it should be large with unlimited answers.
    Does anyone know how to create this type of table view.
    Thanks.
    Message was edited by: crazyiphony

    Hi,
    i suggest reading some documentation. First you nedd to "tell" the tableView that it's rows are of different height. So you need to implement "tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath:"
    To calculate the height needed for a specific text you can use one of the "sizeWithFont" methods of NSString class. (http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/NSStringUIKitAdditions/Reference/Reference.html)

  • What organizer app has a really good WEEK VIEW like my Palm Pilot - it's a grid with days across the top.  Below each day- the day is divided into hourly grids.  When events are schdeuled across  week - you get a mosaic of time blocks.  Analogue - great

    What organizer app has a really good WEEK VIEW like my Palm Pilot - it's a grid with days across the top.  Below each day- the day
    is divided into hourly grids.  When events are schdeuled across  week - you get a mosaic of time blocks.  Analogue view is  great way
    to comprehend the time obligations as a molar pattern.
    thx,

    I use Week Cal on the iPod.  I think it was only $1.99.  It is a lot better and does a lot more than the one that came with the Palm Pilot.
    As you know, unlike the Palm Pilot, the iPod does not come with a desktop application that you can sync your iPod calendar to.  Since I don't use Outlook, I have to use a Cloud based calendar to sync with my PC.  I use Hotmail's calendar for that.  (If your computer is a MAC, you can use iCal)

    No, I gave you bad advice -- relied on something I had heard without
